Abstract

The article analyzes the content and shows the importance and necessity of soft skills, mets skills, and hard skills today. The types of soft skills that are particularly important in modern society are highlighted and the most common classification of soft skills in the public space is presented. Mets skills are considered as a basis for the development, application, and improvement of knowledge and skills, as "higher order" skills that provide an opportunity to improve and understand the significance of other, already existing competencies and allow to achieve the set goal. The importance and necessity of professional hard skills – skills of working with machinery, equipment, and devices have been established. It has been proven that only a combination of soft skills, mets skills, and hard skills should and can become a cornerstone in the plan of training specialists in institutions of higher education. Ways of effective formation of soft skills, mets skills, and hard skills with the use of ICT are shown. It is noted that a necessary component in the international academic environment is the command of foreign languages.
